Chapter 470 Intuition
Chapter 470 Intuition
Bai Mengfei smiled faintly and habitually uttered those five words: "Based on my intuition!"
Xiang Yuntian had never really believed in intuition, so he didn't offer any opinion.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Fei chose to trust Bai Mengfei. He earnestly said to her, "Your intuition has always been very accurate. So you can start your investigation from Lian Zheng's side. As for how to investigate, just go ahead and do it. Even if there are problems, I will take responsibility for the consequences."
Bai Mengfei couldn't help but laugh, raised her right hand, pointed at Zhao Fei, and said mischievously, "You said it yourself!"
"Yes, I said it!" Zhao Fei said with a smile, completely trusting Bai Mengfei. "Regardless of whether Lian Zheng is the richest man or not, as you always say, everyone is equal before the law. So just go ahead and investigate!"
After saying that, Zhao Fei turned to look at Xiang Yuntian.
Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly in agreement.
After leaving the ward with Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but ask, "Is it really worth all this trouble for two thieves who deserve to die?"
Bai Mengfei answered without hesitation: "I don't know if they were thieves, but I know they died a violent death. As forensic doctors, we have a responsibility to investigate."
“But this case might really be the work of some expert,” Xiang Yuntian said.
Bai Mengfei smiled faintly and said, "Haven't we encountered enough experts before? Many of them were vicious criminals. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go back and dissect the corpses."
"Should we contact their families?" Xiang Yuntian asked.
"Even if we contact them, I don't think their family members would acknowledge having such a relative. Let's just forget about it. Anyway, this is a criminal case, and an autopsy is necessary."
"You have a point."
After a brief discussion, the two returned to the police station together and performed another autopsy on the body.
After the autopsy, Bai Mengfei became even more convinced of her previous deductions from the surface of the bodies, confirming that the two victims had indeed been stabbed multiple times in the same spot.
Xiang Yuntian, somewhat puzzled, stood aside and asked in a deep voice, "Why would the murderer do this? I'm completely confused. If he's truly a master, why didn't he just stab a vital spot?"
“That’s true,” Bai Mengfei agreed with Xiang Yuntian’s reasoning. “If he were truly so skilled, why didn’t he just stab a vital spot directly, instead of stabbing the same place multiple times? And judging from the wounds, these stab wounds must have been inflicted on the victims before they died. Neither of the two victims were poisoned, so why didn’t they resist?”
Xiang Yuntian suddenly laughed and said, "Perhaps they are like the martial arts masters of ancient times, who encountered a master and were even struck by pressure points." After saying that, Xiang Yuntian himself felt that this idea was a bit absurd and couldn't help but laugh.
Bai Mengfei couldn't help but say, "Your imagination is truly rich!"
"No, it's really possible, okay?" Xiang Yuntian said with a wry smile, trying to justify himself. "After all, the world is a big place, and anything can happen! Don't you think so?"
"Yes, yes, yes," Bai Mengfei chuckled softly. "But stop with the nonsense. We should focus on investigating the case now. Even if you say they were acupunctured, you need to provide a reasonable explanation and evidence. There are no bruises on their skin, and the lividity formed by the blood clots looks perfectly normal."
Xiang Yuntian had to admit: "I was just joking with you."
After saying that, Xiang Yuntian looked at the female corpse again and said half-jokingly, "If you don't want to die without knowing why, give us a hint."
Xiang Yuntian had only said it casually, but unexpectedly, at that moment, he noticed something in the woman's slightly open mouth.
However, when he and Bai Mengfei examined the area with tools, they found nothing unusual.
Seeing this, Xiang Yuntian gently pinched the corpse's cheek with his left hand, while his right hand carefully reached inside to feel around. Fingers are more dexterous than tools.
He rummaged around inside for a while and was surprised to find an extremely tiny needle in the female victim's mouth. The needle was less than one-tenth the thickness of an ordinary embroidery needle.
After pulling out the tiny needle, Xiang Yuntian picked it up and showed it to Bai Mengfei by the lamplight, saying, "Look, there's a needle!"
"How could this be?" Bai Mengfei stared at the needle in disbelief, her mind filled with questions: Why was this needle in the female victim's mouth?
After a moment's thought, she turned and pried open the male victim's mouth. Guided by her senses, she found a similar needle inside his mouth.
Needles were found in the mouths of both victims!
Bai Mengfei stood at the angle of the needles, closed her eyes, and pondered for a long time, but she still couldn't understand the meaning of the existence of these two needles.
So she turned to Xiang Yuntian and asked, "Have you thought of anything?"
Xiang Yuntian gently shook his head and said, "These two needles were in their mouths, not in their throats, so they weren't enough to cause their deaths. Maybe they were inserted after they died. After all, it wouldn't be easy to put these two needles in their mouths while they were alive, especially in the same spot."
"Could there be some kind of acupoint in the mouth? Why don't we check this place?" Bai Mengfei suggested.
Xiang Yuntian raised the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Sure. But as far as I know, there don't seem to be any special acupoints inside the mouth."
"Don't make assumptions too easily. The world is so big, anything can happen. After all, everyone's knowledge is limited." Bai Mengfei said as she walked to the side, took off her gloves, and took out her phone.
She didn't know how to describe the location, so she went outside and started drawing with a pen and paper, intending to use online image recognition tools to see what acupoint the location corresponded to.
Just then, a male colleague passing by saw Bai Mengfei painting and, feeling quite curious, walked over and said with a smile, "You actually have the leisure to paint during work hours!"
"It's not what you think."
"What's going on?" The male colleague leaned over to take a look. "Why did you draw a mouth on it?"
"Because I just found two needles in the mouths of the two victims, and both needles were stuck in the same spot in the oral cavity, I'm wondering if there are any acupoints there."
The male colleague, somewhat superstitiously, said, "Could they be under some kind of curse? They're even using needles to prick them!"
